Belarus ratifies agreement on CSTO Collective Force

Belarusian Defence Minister Yuri Zhadobin presented the document to the deputies saying that it had been signed by Belarus in October 2009 "with the aim to unite the efforts of the CSTO member states to resist armed attacks and to counteract other challenges and threats."

The ratifying of the agreement "will give a legal basis for using Belarus' forces and means in the Collective Rapid Reaction Force," he said. "There is a law regulating the responsibility and there are certain agreements on the cases where these forces will be used."

"Some cases will be regulated by a presidential decree covering Belarus' participation in a separate joint operation."
